Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of International Association of Lighthouse Authorities (IALA). IALA is a nongovernmental organization founded in 1955 with the aim to encourage the continued improvement of aids to navigation, through any appropriate technical means, for the safe and expeditious movement of vessels. The Constitution entered into force in 1957 and has since been amended several times. A special feature of the IALA relates to its system of membership: under Art. 3 of the current Constitution, the principal lighthouse authority of any country may become an A member or a B member; associate membership is open to any other service or organization responsible for aids to technical navigation, and to scientific agencies. The Constitution distinguishes between industrial members and personal members. The various categories of membership confer different rights and obligations within the Association. The IALA's organs consist of the General Assembly, the Executive Committee, and its Secretariat with headquarters in Paris.
